Girl math is a viral TikTok trend on personal finance. It reveals ways women shoppers rationalize their spending habits — often involving mental gymnastics to justify one’s purchases in a way that maximizes happiness.
This holiday season, the return of girl math may be a sign that consumers are starting to feel a strain on their wallets, but just can’t stop shopping.
This word might seem miniscule compared to some of the others on the list, but for gamers, it’s just as important. A Scrabble board is 15 by 15 blocks, so the maximum length of a word is 15 letters. Technically, any 15-letter word could be the longest Scrabble word, but “oxyphenbutazone” is noteworthy because it is also the highest-scoring Scrabble word possible when played on three triple-word squares with just the right preexisting tiles. The 1,778-point word is the name of an anti-inflammatory medication used to treat arthritis. The stars must align to use this word — it’s never actually been played in an official Scrabble tournament.

"And He sat down opposite the [temple] treasury, and began watching how the people were putting money into the [a]treasury. And many rich people were putting in [b]large sums. 42 A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a [c]mite. 43 Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, this poor widow put in [proportionally] more than all the contributors to the treasury. 44 For they all contributed from their surplus, but she, from her poverty, put in all she had, all she had to live on.”
Yes, you can still get Authentic 2480 Year old ATHENIAN OWL Coins for under $50 if you look (I've had best luck with Ebay).
Fascinating piece of real history. Keep one in your pocket and I quarantee it'll give you BIG PERSPECTIVE every time you feel it there. 2500 freaking years ago, some dude facing the same essential questions in life as you do had one of these in his tunic or toga pocket.
Give something actually useful and potentially lifesaving for Christmas..

Prepping: The #1 killer in a crisis isn’t the crazy doomsday scenario you probably think of when imagining a survival situation.
It’s not an EMP, it’s not zombies, and it’s not even starvation or disease.
Statistically the #1 thing that’ll kill you is exposure to the elements.
Because exposure to the elements is one of the nation’s leading causes of accidental death you MUST have an Emergency Sleeping Bag.Smaller than a soda can: Not only is the Emergency Sleeping Bag incredibly lightweight, it’s also insanely compact.
Grab this deal and throw some of these in your glove box or trunk:

I got my old man Aragorn’s sword “Anduril” for one Christmas. He bloody loved it and soon after I discovered that he’d sharpened it. When I asked why he said 2 words. Zombie apocalypse 😂😂.
What about the drones we didn't use last Christmas!?!?
